"... ..."
Ling Ling was silent for a while. As expected, professional matters should be handled by professionals...
At this time, Luo Xue had no time to care about the conversation between the other two. She raised her head slightly and looked at the true appearance revealed after the collapse of the white. Until she saw the familiar fairy boat, she sighed,
“Is that true?”
Just as she had guessed, this was a complete immortal boat, a "living" immortal boat, exactly the same as the five immortal boats that had fallen into deathly silence in Guixu.
The only difference is that this immortal boat has not been extinguished, but has fallen into a deep sleep. The light of the formation flowing on it is enough to show that this immortal boat is still intact.
But for some reason, the previous civilization did not use this fairy boat to leave this world, but chose another way.
But it is obvious that from the fact that the surrounding formations are still running, it can be seen that this immortal boat is most likely still in standby mode and cannot be entered directly like in Guixu.
Fortunately, Luo Xue had made sufficient preparations beforehand, so at least she didn't have to worry about which entrance to enter the interior of the fairy boat.
Ling Ling's previous explorations had not gone deep into the interior of the fairy ship. At most, she had only searched for information on the outer deck, so she had almost no knowledge of this huge legacy of a previous civilization.
"Let's go to the central control room of the immortal ship first." Luo Xue said in a deep voice, "There should be a navigation log inside. At least we can know... what this creation from another world has experienced."
Ling Ling and Su Yiyao certainly had no objections, and soon they followed Luo Xue's steps and approached the entrance of the cabin of the fairy boat.
When they landed at the entrance, several formations inside the fairy boat suddenly activated. Ling Ling was a little panicked, and Su Yiyao immediately condensed the magic in her hands, her face full of vigilance.
Luo Xue raised her hand to signal them not to be nervous, and then input a stream of spiritual power into the formation.
Soon, the flashing formation stopped and the hatch slowly opened.
"Actually, any spiritual power will be enough. This fairy boat is used for escape. The verification procedure is just to prevent strange beasts or weird beings from accidentally breaking in. Normal spiritual power can pass the verification of the formation." Luo Xue explained.
There was a similar formation in Xianlu, and she could recognize it.
"So that's how it is." Ling Ling nodded, feeling relieved.
Previously, she had only been to external locations such as the deck, so she had never triggered such a verification procedure, so she was a little unsure.
In addition, if it was just her, there would be no problem. It was mainly because Luo Xue triggered these movements that made her so nervous.
After stepping into the cabin, everything Luo Xue saw was what she had seen in the dead silent Fallen Immortal Boat. However, because this Immortal Boat was just dormant, the formations along the way were operating at a minimal level.
Three thousand years is a long time for ordinary humans, but for high-level immortal cultivators, it can only be called "a very long time", so time has not eroded these formations.
This was the first time Lingling had seen a ship of this style. A large part of the internal structure was cast with special materials refined by immortal methods, and the jade gems that could be seen everywhere had their own functions.
The special technology tree, which was far more advanced than the suspended tower, attracted the attention of Ling Ling, a researcher. However, Luo Xue was in a hurry and did not leave her much time to study it, so she ran directly to the control room.
The internal structure of the immortal boat is far more spacious and majestic than it appears from the outside. The different cabins are connected by the magic of Mustard Seed Sumeru, and all travel is done through a teleportation formation.
If we really want to study the wonders of this world, it may take hundreds of years to complete.
Unless Li Guijiao comes in person, even she will not be able to crack it in a short time.
So Luo Xue could only continue along the predetermined route. After passing many cabins, she finally saw the teleportation formation leading to the control room.
But unlike the Dead Silence Immortal Boat, the control room here actually controls part of this behemoth and has not yet lost its effectiveness. So when Luo Xue and others stepped into the teleportation array, the familiar array flashed and lit up again.
"This time, it shouldn't be ordinary spiritual power, right?" Su Yiyao asked.
"... I don't know."
Luo Xue frowned tightly. She had never seen this formation in Xianlu. Because the previous Fallen Immortal Boats were all abandoned, there was no corresponding formation in operation.
However... it still looked like an ordinary verification formation. Luo Xue thought about it and injected a little spiritual power into it.
With the infusion of spiritual power, the flickering light gradually dissipated and the teleportation array slowly started up.
"efficient!"
Luo Xue showed a surprised look, how could even the teleportation array of the control center be teleported at will, the interior of the fairy boat... is it so casual
Ling Ling and Su Yiyao were equally puzzled, but the teleportation array that was being activated did not show any abnormalities, and the end point of the teleportation array was also normal.
Just as the teleportation was about to leave, Su Yiyao couldn't help but feel curious and transmitted some spiritual power into it.
When their figures disappeared in the teleportation array, the verification array that had just been flashing smoothly suddenly glowed red, and the alarm sounded in an instant.
But these had nothing to do with Luo Xue and the others who had already stepped into the control center of the fairy boat. After a period of trance, they stepped into an empty room.
Everything was the same as what Luo Xue had seen in the Fallen Immortal Boat. The only difference was the formation that was still in operation, and even the natural disaster engine was lying intact in the center.
This scene made Luo Xue even more puzzled. This immortal boat was obviously able to be used normally. Why would the previous civilization abandon it in this world
"Let me take a look at the navigation log first." Luo Xue said in a deep voice, "You two should get ready. If I'm in danger, take me away immediately."
She planned to use her understanding of the Immortal Killing Formation to forcibly break through the authority check of the Immortal Boat and obtain the most core information.
The two of them nodded solemnly, as if they were harnessing their respective abilities and preparing for battle.
In such an atmosphere, Luo Xue approached the control center, closed her eyes, and raised her hand to press on it.
The faint fluctuations of spiritual power slowly dissipated. Luo Xue carefully sensed the surrounding formation nodes, trying to destroy them.
But at the same time when her consciousness came into contact with these formation nodes, the formation suddenly started to operate autonomously, and the entire dim control center room lit up instantly.
"A person with unknown authority has been detected, and his identity is being identified."
A cold and distant female voice sounded, startling both Su Yiyao and Ling Ling.
But they reacted quickly and rushed over, trying to take Luo Xue away who was meditating.
But at this moment, the cold female voice sounded again,
"Identity confirmed - the owner of the highest authority can access all information."
At the same time, Luo Xue opened her eyes, her face full of surprise and confusion.
Faced with the two people who wanted to take her away, Luo Xue raised her hand and stopped them.
"I'm fine," Luo Xue said with a strange and solemn expression, "What... is going on? How can I..."
"Sister Xue'er/Achou, what's wrong with you?"
Ling Ling and Su Yiyao looked at Luo Xue with concern, their faces full of worry.
"I seem to be... the owner of this fairy boat?" Luo Xue scratched the back of her head. "Anyway, the navigation log can be read, and there is more to it..."
Chapter 270 Deep Space Response
"In the tenth era of the Eternal Calendar, a catastrophe befell the heavens and the earth, and evil demons from outside the domain attacked."
"The Qin Emperor forged nine immortal boats, hoping to find a way out of Guixu. Three of them, Linque, Cheng'an, and Shenpoxu, unfortunately crashed, leaving only six immortal boats, Lunquan, Xuangu, Chaoyingfeng, Kunhai, Huanxue, and Muhuansong... heading for the outer realm."
"The path to Guixu is extremely dangerous. My Xuan Guzhou is willing to take the risk and leave the group to explore the way ahead. I encountered a divine disaster and was lost in an unknown world."
"The spiritual energy in this small world is very thin, almost non-existent. The Xuangu Boat is forced to stay suspended to recuperate and wait for an opportunity to return to the team."
"... ..."
The general navigation log ends here. More details need to be checked, but it is not necessary.
"In other words, this immortal boat called the 'Mysterious Bone Boat' accidentally came to this world after encountering the 'divine disaster' in Guixu, and then has been parked here ever since, and has never been started again?"
Ling Ling frowned slightly, looked at Luo Xue and asked in a deep voice, "Is there any record of what happened to the Immortal Boat People after they came to this world?"
"Let me see."
Luo Xue nodded and continued to look up the information.
She possesses almost all the authority of the Immortal Boat, but does not have the corresponding identity information.
This surprised Luo Xue quite a bit, but she couldn't find the reason for the time being, so she could only put it aside for the time being.
After a while, Luo Xue retrieved the corresponding records. Fortunately, the people of Xianzhou have always had the habit of keeping records, and this record is quite detailed.
After a quick read, Luo Xue and the others finally resolved most of their previous doubts.
First, the source of natural disasters.
The natural disaster filled with violent spiritual power was not something inherent in this world, but an unimaginable ecological disaster. The culprit causing this disaster was the fairy boat under their feet.
This is a fairy boat for escape. It not only possesses enough recyclable resources to survive during the escape, but more importantly, it has the ability to transform the environment.
The immortal boat for refuge will not be a permanent home. The people on the immortal boat will eventually need to find their final habitat, but not all habitats are suitable for them.
Therefore, an extremely amazing formation is arranged on each immortal boat - it can be said that 80% of the load of the entire immortal boat is due to this formation.
Once the entire formation is fully deployed, it can permanently change the environment of a small world. Even the poorest small world will become the most top-notch paradise under the effect of this formation.
—But the people of Xianzhou did not expect that they would encounter an unprecedented failure the first time they deployed the formation.
This failure directly led to the birth of a spiritual storm. Endless natural disasters suddenly occurred, the alternation of day and night was greatly slowed down, and the entire earth presented a strange phenomenon of eternal day and eternal night.
The local human civilization was almost completely destroyed overnight. Even though many Xianzhou people tried to rescue them, it was of no avail. More than 80% of the indigenous people died in the disaster.
Only a small number of the indigenous people were lucky enough to survive. They lived a hard life under the protection of the Xianzhou people, and together with the Xianzhou people, they formed the pre-civilization in today's history.
So, why the glory of the previous civilization cannot continue to the current tower society is because its glory is essentially the glory of the immortal boat people, and does not belong to the indigenous people of this world.
Due to the failure of environmental transformation, only violent spiritual power was left to wreak havoc everywhere. In order to navigate the natural disaster, the people of the Immortal Boat simplified the power system of the Immortal Boat, created a natural disaster engine, and built the first suspended tower.
The previous civilization did not last long, but when the people of the Immortal Boat discovered that the concentration of spiritual power in this world was far from enough to restart the "Xuan Bone Boat", they abandoned the Immortal Boat and sealed it up using an illusion.
Finally, the people of the Xianzhou used the materials of this world to create a small Xianzhou similar to the Xianlu, and with the purpose of "returning to the team", they broke through the deep space and left this world.
—This is the whole truth about pre-civilization.
But... there is still no answer as to why the formation for transforming the environment went out of control here, what the indigenous civilization of this world looked like back then, and where the people of Xianzhou finally returned to.
"... There are still some Xianzhou people who stayed in this world and integrated with the indigenous civilization. But for unknown reasons, it is difficult for them to give birth to offspring." Luo Xue looked at Ling Ling and said softly, "But... there is a special case in the records.
"The man in the case has the last name 'Ling'."
"Me?" Ling Ling pointed at herself in surprise, then a look of relief appeared on her face, "That's right, it seems that only I can practice the Breathing Technique."
After Luo Xue left, she certainly tried to teach the breathing technique to others, that is, Celis back then.
But Celis could not sense the existence of spiritual power no matter what, and therefore did not meet the requirements for entry. Therefore, she was unable to become a monk until her death.
It's very simple, the two worlds are incompatible. Generally speaking, it is impossible to inherit both supernatural powers and immortal martial arts at the same time, but Lingling is an exception.
"Descendants of two different worlds, combining the power of both systems..."
Su Yiyao looked at Ling Ling. She was well aware of the dangers of this combination. The evil demons from outside the domain were one of the consequences, and chaos seemed to be an inevitable outcome.
Although she and Lingling have some vague competition, she still feels reluctant to see this smiling big sister encounter such a disaster.
"It should be fine." Luo Xue said, "Fortunately it's a breathing technique. If it was a high-level technique... it might not be the case."
High-level skills can help one break through to the Soul Yun Realm. Only those in the Soul Yun Realm can be considered true cultivators, while those in the Innate Realm can only be called warriors in the Xianwu world.
Now Ling Ling has actually only stepped half a foot into the immortal cultivation system. This half foot has brought her a long life, until the day when Luo Xue returns.
"To be honest, the small immortal boat in the record always gives me a sense of déjà vu." Luo Xue stared at the screen with flowing light, frowning slightly, "It looks... a lot like the Immortal Slaughter."
"Who were those guys chasing you in Guixu?" Su Yiyao asked.
"Yeah." Luo Xue nodded.
"It does look very similar," Su Yiyao said, "Could it be that the Xianzhou people who left are that group of people?"
"I think it's very likely, but there's no way to be sure." Luo Xue pondered.
She remembered that Emperor Dugu said that they had been wandering in Guixu, and they were indeed the same as the immortal boat people who left this world.
More importantly...
In the end, Emperor Dugu had found the five fallen immortal boats and was secretly carrying out some ulterior motives.
The reason why Luo Xue was hunted down at that time was because there would be a risk of knowing the plan. Lian Wei took action personally... This is enough to show how cautious Emperor Dugu was about this.
"However, this immortal boat is not completely dormant." Luo Xue said as she tried to sense the status of the entire immortal boat through the control center, "It seems that some formations are still in operation..."
Even though Luo Xue has all the authority within the Immortal Boat, she has just begun to understand the internal structure of the Immortal Boat, so there are many things that she is still trying to figure out.
After a while, Luo Xue finally found the formation that was in continuous operation, and then teleported them all over there.
After entering the formation, Luo Xue immediately understood the function of this formation, and a flash of enlightenment flashed through her mind.
"I see... "
"What's wrong?"
Ling Ling asked quickly, and Su Yiyao also pricked up her ears curiously.
"This is an exploration formation that has been running continuously, and the direction of exploration is... deep space." Luo Xue said in a deep voice, "They should be using this formation to find the direction to return to the team.
